Style Tips for Each Tool
| Tool | Best Settings | Notes |
|------|--------------|-------|
| Midjourney | --s 200-400, --style raw | Add "vector, no shading" to keep it clean |

Tips for Best Results
- 💡Add 'no shading, no gradients, no fill' explicitly — AI tools love adding shadows even when you ask for line art
- 💡Specify the exact number of colors to prevent the model from adding unwanted tones
- 💡Use negative space intentionally — describing a hidden shape or secondary image in the whitespace creates more compelling results
- 💡For brand use, request 'single continuous line' to ensure the mark feels cohesive and reproducible at any size
